...acquainted with standardized test taking! With each test, I've had to adapt my own learning style and I can help students do the same to maximize their potential.

I have over ten years of experience tutoring and I love working with my students. It is my priority to meet each student's unique learning needs, and I enjoy making seemingly complex concepts easy to understand.
Many of my former students/clients refer friends or ask to work with me when new needs arise.
I also love to help students with essays and college/grad school applications.

...my students by using analogies and illustrations. I also enjoy teaching English because I've seen the enormous impact a strong English background can have on a student's overall confidence and success in school. My teaching style reflects the skills I believe students need to succeed in school. For example, I emphasize problem solving and understanding the theory behind a problem rather than just rote memorization. I believe in teaching a student how to approach learning...

I believe in building student strengths in order to achieve their scholastic and personal goals. Gaining skills and mastery of concepts is necessary for improved self-efficacy and academic success. Sometimes that means a fresh look at the material; sometimes it means a small amount of rote learning such as with multiplication tables. Using games and motivational tools takes most of...
